<id>da7f8de9647a8401c36e0bff69dfa58b066a4c47</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 33692f27597fcab536d7cbbcc8f52905133e4aa7 upstream.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.

That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works.  However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.

In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV.  And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.

However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space.  And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.

To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it.  They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.

This is the mindless minimal patch to do this.  A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.

Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.

Userspace actually passes single parameter (path name) to the umount
syscall, so new umount just fails. Fix it by requesting old umount
syscall implementation and re-wiring umount to it.

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
 "So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
  problem.  We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process.  seccomp
  hooks in before the audit syscall entry code.  audit_syscall_entry
  took as an argument the arch of the given syscall.  Since the arch is
  part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
  of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
  syscall...

  For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
  So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
  there is audit which didn't have it.  Use syscall_get_arch() in the
  seccomp audit code.  Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
  a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
  syscall entry.

  The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
  records that had invalid spaces.  Better locking around the task comm
  field.  Removing some dead functions and structs.  Make some things
  static.  Really minor stuff"
