linux-toradex.git/kernel/kexec_core.c, branch v5.12-rc8

Merge branch 'work.elf-compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2021-02-21T17:29:23+00:00

Pull ELF compat updates from Al Viro:
 "Sanitizing ELF compat support, especially for triarch architectures:

   - X32 handling cleaned up

   - MIPS64 uses compat_binfmt_elf.c both for O32 and N32 now

   - Kconfig side of things regularized

  Eventually I hope to have compat_binfmt_elf.c killed, with both native
  and compat built from fs/binfmt_elf.c, with -DELF_BITS={64,32} passed
  by kbuild, but that's a separate story - not included here"

* 'work.elf-compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  get rid of COMPAT_ELF_EXEC_PAGESIZE
  compat_binfmt_elf: don't bother with undef of ELF_ARCH
  Kconfig: regularize selection of CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF
  mips compat: switch to compat_binfmt_elf.c
  mips: don't bother with ELF_CORE_EFLAGS
  mips compat: don't bother with ELF_ET_DYN_BASE
  mips: KVM_GUEST makes no sense for 64bit builds...
  mips: kill unused definitions in binfmt_elf[on]32.c
  mips binfmt_elf*32.c: use elfcore-compat.h
  x32: make X32, !IA32_EMULATION setups able to execute x32 binaries
  [amd64] clean PRSTATUS_SIZE/SET_PR_FPVALID up properly
  elf_prstatus: collect the common part (everything before pr_reg) into a struct
  binfmt_elf: partially sanitize PRSTATUS_SIZE and SET_PR_FPVALID

kernel: kexec: remove the lock operation of system_transition_mutex

2021-01-25T17:40:37+00:00

Function kernel_kexec() is called with lock system_transition_mutex
held in reboot system call. While inside kernel_kexec(), it will
acquire system_transition_mutex agin. This will lead to dead lock.

The dead lock should be easily triggered, it hasn't caused any
failure report just because the feature 'kexec jump' is almost not
used by anyone as far as I know. An inquiry can be made about who
is using 'kexec jump' and where it's used. Before that, let's simply
remove the lock operation inside CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP ifdeffery scope.

elf_prstatus: collect the common part (everything before pr_reg) into a struct

2021-01-06T13:38:29+00:00

Preparations to doing i386 compat elf_prstatus sanely - rather than duplicating
the beginning of compat_elf_prstatus, take these fields into a separate
structure (compat_elf_prstatus_common), so that it could be reused.  Due to
the incestous relationship between binfmt_elf.c and compat_binfmt_elf.c we
need the same shape change done to native struct elf_prstatus, gathering the
fields prior to pr_reg into a new structure (struct elf_prstatus_common).

Fortunately, offset of pr_reg is always a multiple of 16 with no padding
right before it, so it's possible to turn all the stuff prior to it into
a single member without disturbing the layout.

crypto: sha - split sha.h into sha1.h and sha2.h

2020-11-20T03:45:33+00:00

Currently  contains declarations for both SHA-1 and SHA-2,
and  contains declarations for SHA-3.

This organization is inconsistent, but more importantly SHA-1 is no
longer considered to be cryptographically secure.  So to the extent
possible, SHA-1 shouldn't be grouped together with any of the other SHA
versions, and usage of it should be phased out.

Therefore, split  into two headers  and
, and make everyone explicitly specify whether they want
the declarations for SHA-1, SHA-2, or both.

This avoids making the SHA-1 declarations visible to files that don't
want anything to do with SHA-1.  It also prepares for potentially moving
sha1.h into a new insecure/ or dangerous/ directory.

kernel/: fix repeated words in comments

2020-10-16T18:11:19+00:00

Fix multiple occurrences of duplicated words in kernel/.

Fix one typo/spello on the same line as a duplicate word.  Change one
instance of "the the" to "that the".  Otherwise just drop one of the
repeated words.

kexec: add machine_kexec_post_load()

2020-01-08T16:32:55+00:00

It is the same as machine_kexec_prepare(), but is called after segments are
loaded. This way, can do processing work with already loaded relocation
segments. One such example is arm64: it has to have segments loaded in
order to create a page table, but it cannot do it during kexec time,
because at that time allocations won't be possible anymore.

kexec: quiet down kexec reboot

2020-01-08T16:32:55+00:00

Here is a regular kexec command sequence and output:
=====
$ kexec --reuse-cmdline -i --load Image
$ kexec -e
[  161.342002] kexec_core: Starting new kernel

Welcome to Buildroot
buildroot login:
=====

Even when "quiet" kernel parameter is specified, "kexec_core: Starting
new kernel" is printed.

This message has  KERN_EMERG level, but there is no emergency, it is a
normal kexec operation, so quiet it down to appropriate KERN_NOTICE.

Machines that have slow console baud rate benefit from less output.

kexec: bail out upon SIGKILL when allocating memory.

2019-09-26T00:51:40+00:00

syzbot found that a thread can stall for minutes inside kexec_load() after
that thread was killed by SIGKILL [1].  It turned out that the reproducer
was trying to allocate 2408MB of memory using kimage_alloc_page() from
kimage_load_normal_segment().  Let's check for SIGKILL before doing memory
allocation.
