x86/dumpstack: Fix x86_32 kernel_stack_pointer() previous stack access

2016-10-16T15:36:15+00:00

commit 72b4f6a5e903b071f2a7c4eb1418cbe4eefdc344 upstream.

On x86_32, when an interrupt happens from kernel space, SS and SP aren't
pushed and the existing stack is used.  So pt_regs is effectively two
words shorter, and the previous stack pointer is normally the memory
after the shortened pt_regs, aka '®s->sp'.

But in the rare case where the interrupt hits right after the stack
pointer has been changed to point to an empty stack, like for example
when call_on_stack() is used, the address immediately after the
shortened pt_regs is no longer on the stack.  In that case, instead of
'®s->sp', the previous stack pointer should be retrieved from the
beginning of the current stack page.

kernel_stack_pointer() wants to do that, but it forgets to dereference
the pointer.  So instead of returning a pointer to the previous stack,
it returns a pointer to the beginning of the current stack.

Note that it's probably outside of kernel_stack_pointer()'s scope to be
switching stacks at all.  The x86_64 version of this function doesn't do
it, and it would be better for the caller to do it if necessary.  But
that's a patch for another day.  This just fixes the original intent.

x86/entry: Move C entry and exit code to arch/x86/entry/common.c

2015-07-07T08:59:05+00:00

The entry and exit C helpers were confusingly scattered between
ptrace.c and signal.c, even though they aren't specific to
ptrace or signal handling.  Move them together in a new file.

This change just moves code around.  It doesn't change anything.

x86/compat: Factor out ia32 compat code from compat_arch_ptrace()

Move the ia32-specific code in compat_arch_ptrace() into its

x86/fpu: Factor out fpu/regset.h from fpu/internal.h

2015-05-19T13:48:06+00:00

Only a few places use the regset definitions, so factor them out.

Also fix related header dependency assumptions.

x86/fpu: Split out fpu/signal.h from fpu/internal.h for signal frame handling functions

2015-05-19T13:48:05+00:00

Most of the FPU does not use them, so split it out and include
them in signal.c and ia32_signal.c

Also fix header file dependency assumption in fpu/core.c.

x86/fpu: Rename regset FPU register accessors

2015-05-19T13:47:35+00:00

Rename regset accessors to prefix them with 'regset_', because we
want to start using the 'fpregs_active' name elsewhere.

x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h

2015-05-19T13:47:31+00:00

This unifies all the FPU related header files under a unified, hiearchical
naming scheme:

 - asm/fpu/types.h:      FPU related data types, needed for 'struct task_struct',
                         widely included in almost all kernel code, and hence kept
                         as small as possible.

 - asm/fpu/api.h:        FPU related 'public' methods exported to other subsystems.

 - asm/fpu/internal.h:   FPU subsystem internal methods

 - asm/fpu/xsave.h:      XSAVE support internal methods

(Also standardize the header guard in asm/fpu/internal.h.)

x86/fpu: Fix header file dependencies of fpu-internal.h

2015-05-19T13:47:16+00:00

Fix a minor header file dependency bug in asm/fpu-internal.h: it
relies on i387.h but does not include it. All users of fpu-internal.h
included it explicitly.

Also remove unnecessary includes, to reduce compilation time.

This also makes it easier to use it as a standalone header file
for FPU internals, such as an upcoming C module in arch/x86/kernel/fpu/.

2015-03-23T10:14:17+00:00

user_mode_vm() and user_mode() are now the same.  Change all callers
of user_mode_vm() to user_mode().

The next patch will remove the definition of user_mode_vm.

x86/ptrace: Remove checks for TIF_IA32 when changing CS and SS

2015-02-25T07:27:49+00:00

The ability for modified CS and/or SS to be useful has nothing
to do with TIF_IA32.  Similarly, if there's an exploit involving
changing CS or SS, it's exploitable with or without a TIF_IA32
check.

So just delete the check.
