uml: check length in exitcode_proc_write()

2013-10-30T19:24:49+00:00

We don't cap the size of buffer from the user so we could write past the
end of the array here.  Only root can write to this file.

arch: mm: pass userspace fault flag to generic fault handler

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer
in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in
kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from
user-triggered faults.

Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the
architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM
handling can be improved.

arch: mm: do not invoke OOM killer on kernel fault OOM

2013-09-12T22:38:01+00:00

Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer.  Reserve this
for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Most architectures already do this, fix up the remaining few.

um: Add irq chip um/mask handlers

2013-09-07T08:57:19+00:00

These handlers are not optional and need in our case
dummy implementions to avoid NULL pointer bugs within
the irq core code.

um: Implement probe_kernel_read()

2013-09-07T08:38:34+00:00

UML needs it's own probe_kernel_read() to handle kernel
mode faults correctly.
The implementation uses mincore() on the host side to detect
whether a page is owned by the UML kernel process.

This fixes also a possible crash when sysrq-t is used.
Starting with 3.10 sysrq-t calls probe_kernel_read() to
read details from the kernel workers. As kernel worker are
completely async pointers may turn NULL while reading them.

um: siginfo cleanup

2013-07-19T09:31:36+00:00

Currently we use both struct siginfo and siginfo_t.
Let's use struct siginfo internally to avoid ongoing
compiler warning. We are allowed to do so because
struct siginfo and siginfo_t are equivalent.

um: Mark stub pages mapping with VM_PFNMAP

Ensure that a process cannot destroy his stub pages with
using MADV_DONTNEED and friends.

um: Fix return value of strnlen_user()

2013-07-19T08:45:17+00:00

In case of an error it must not return -EFAULT.
Return 0 like all other archs do.

UML: normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds

2013-07-03T23:07:34+00:00

Normalize global variables exported by vmlinux.lds to conform usage
guidelines from include/asm-generic/sections.h.

1) Use _text to mark the start of the kernel image including the head
text, and _stext to mark the start of the .text section.
2) Export mandatory global variables __bss_stop.
3) Adjust __init_begin and __init_end to avoid acrossing .text and
   .data sections.
