ARCH: AUDIT: audit_syscall_entry() should not require the arch

2014-09-23T20:21:26+00:00

We have a function where the arch can be queried, syscall_get_arch().
So rather than have every single piece of arch specific code use and/or
duplicate syscall_get_arch(), just have the audit code use the
syscall_get_arch() code.

xtensa: add support for TLS

2013-02-24T03:35:57+00:00

The Xtensa architecture provides a global register called THREADPTR
for the purpose of Thread Local Storage (TLS) support. This allows us
to use a fairly simple implementation, keeping the thread pointer in
the regset and simply saving and restoring it upon entering/exiting
the from user space.

Remove heading and trailing spaces, trim trailing lines, and wrap lines
that are longer than 80 characters.

audit: inline audit_syscall_entry to reduce burden on archs

2012-01-17T21:16:56+00:00

Every arch calls:

if (unlikely(current->audit_context))
	audit_syscall_entry()

which requires knowledge about audit (the existance of audit_context) in
the arch code.  Just do it all in static inline in audit.h so that arch's
can remain blissfully ignorant.

xtensa: prevent arbitrary read in ptrace

2011-07-26T03:57:07+00:00

Prevent an arbitrary kernel read.  Check the user pointer with access_ok()
before copying data in.

ptrace: change signature of arch_ptrace()

2010-10-28T01:03:10+00:00

Fix up the arguments to arch_ptrace() to take account of the fact that
@addr and @data are now unsigned long rather than long as of a preceding
patch in this series.

xtensa: use generic ptrace_resume code

2010-03-12T23:52:39+00:00

Use the generic ptrace_resume code for PTRACE_SYSCALL, PTRACE_CONT,
PTRACE_KILL and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP.  This implies defining
arch_has_single_step in  and implementing the
user_enable_single_step and user_disable_single_step functions, which also
causes the breakpoint information to be cleared on fork, which could be
considered a bug fix.

Also the TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE thread flag is now cleared on PTRACE_KILL which
it previously wasn't which is consistent with all architectures using the
modern ptrace code.
