ipc: fix compat msgrcv with negative msgtyp

2014-01-28T05:02:40+00:00

Compat function takes msgtyp argument as u32 and passes it down to
do_msgrcv which results in casting to long, thus the sign is lost and we
get a big positive number instead.

Cast the argument to signed type before passing it down.

ipc: whitespace cleanup

2014-01-28T05:02:39+00:00

The ipc code does not adhere the typical linux coding style.
This patch fixes lots of simple whitespace errors.

- mostly autogenerated by
  scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --fix \
	--types=pointer_location,spacing,space_before_tab
- one manual fixup (keep structure members tab-aligned)
- removal of additional space_before_tab that were not found by --fix

Tested with some of my msg and sem test apps.

Andrew: Could you include it in -mm and move it towards Linus' tree?

get rid of union semop in sys_semctl(2) arguments

2013-03-05T20:14:16+00:00

just have the bugger take unsigned long and deal with SETVAL
case (when we use an int member in the union) explicitly.

ipc: message queue receive cleanup

2013-01-05T00:11:45+00:00

Move all message related manipulation into one function msg_fill().
Actually, two functions because of the compat one.

ipc: use Kconfig options for __ARCH_WANT_[COMPAT_]IPC_PARSE_VERSION

2012-07-31T00:25:21+00:00

Rather than #define the options manually in the architecture code, add
Kconfig options for them and select them there instead.  This also allows
us to select the compat IPC version parsing automatically for platforms
using the old compat IPC interface.

ipc: compat: use signed size_t types for msgsnd and msgrcv

2012-07-31T00:25:21+00:00

The msgsnd and msgrcv system calls use size_t to represent the size of the
message being transferred.  POSIX states that values of msgsz greater than
SSIZE_MAX cause the result to be implementation-defined.  On Linux, this
equates to returning -EINVAL if (long) msgsz < 0.

For compat tasks where !CONFIG_ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC and compat_size_t
is smaller than size_t, negative size values passed from userspace will be
interpreted as positive values by do_msg{rcv,snd} and will fail to exit
early with -EINVAL.

This patch changes the compat prototypes for msg{rcv,snd} so that the
message size is represented as a compat_ssize_t, which we cast to the
native ssize_t type for the core IPC code.
