Merge branch 'mm-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2016-10-22T16:39:10+00:00

Pull vmap stack fixes from Ingo Molnar:
 "This is fallout from CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK=y on x86: stack
  accesses that used to be just somewhat questionable are now totally
  buggy.

  These changes try to do it without breaking the ABI: the fields are
  left there, they are just reporting zero, or reporting narrower
  information (the maps file change)"

* 'mm-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current()
  fs/proc: Stop trying to report thread stacks
  fs/proc: Stop reporting eip and esp in /proc/PID/stat
  mm/numa: Remove duplicated include from mprotect.c

mm: Change vm_is_stack_for_task() to vm_is_stack_for_current()

2016-10-20T07:21:41+00:00

Asking for a non-current task's stack can't be done without races
unless the task is frozen in kernel mode.  As far as I know,
vm_is_stack_for_task() never had a safe non-current use case.

The __unused annotation is because some KSTK_ESP implementations
ignore their parameter, which IMO is further justification for this
patch.

mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

2016-10-19T15:31:25+00:00

This removes the 'write' argument from access_process_vm() and replaces
it with 'gup_flags' as use of this function previously silently implied
FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising
behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
