2014-11-19arm64: __clear_user: handle exceptions on strbKyle McMartin
commit 97fc15436b36ee3956efad83e22a557991f7d19d upstream. ARM64 currently doesn't fix up faults on the single-byte (strb) case of __clear_user... which means that we can cause a nasty kernel panic as an ordinary user with any multiple PAGE_SIZE+1 read from /dev/zero. i.e.: dd if=/dev/zero of=foo ibs=1 count=1 (or ibs=65537, etc.) This is a pretty obscure bug in the general case since we'll only __do_kernel_fault (since there's no extable entry for pc) if the mmap_sem is contended. However, with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, we'll always fault. if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) { if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc)) goto no_context; retry: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem); } else { /* * The above down_read_trylock() might have succeeded in * which * case, we'll have missed the might_sleep() from * down_read(). */ might_sleep(); if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->pc)) goto no_context; } Fix that by adding an extable entry for the strb instruction, since it touches user memory, similar to the other stores in __clear_user.

2013-05-08arm64: Treat the bitops index argument as an 'int'Catalin Marinas
The bitops prototype use an 'int' as the bit index type but the asm implementation assume it to be a 'long'. Since the compiler does not guarantee zeroing the upper 32-bits in a register when used as 'int', change the bitops implementation accordingly.

2013-04-30arm64: Use acquire/release semantics instead of explicit DMBCatalin Marinas
This patch changes the test_and_*_bit functions to use the load-acquire/store-release instructions instead of explicit DMB. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-04-30arm64: klib: bitops: fix unpredictable stxr usageMark Rutland
We're currently relying on unpredictable behaviour in our testops (test_and_*_bit), as stxr is unpredictable when the status register and the source register are the same This patch changes reallocates the status register so as to bring us back into the realm of predictable behaviour. Boot tested on an AEMv8 model. Signed-off-by: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-03-21arm64: klib: Optimised atomic bitopsCatalin Marinas
This patch implements the AArch64-specific atomic bitops functions using exclusive memory accesses to avoid locking. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-03-21arm64: klib: Optimised string functionsCatalin Marinas
This patch introduces AArch64-specific string functions (strchr, strrchr). Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2013-03-21arm64: klib: Optimised memory functionsCatalin Marinas
This patch introduces AArch64-specific memory functions (memcpy, memmove, memchr, memset). These functions are not optimised for any CPU implementation but can be used as a starting point once hardware is available. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>

2012-09-17arm64: User access library functionsCatalin Marinas
This patch add support for various user access functions. These functions use the standard LDR/STR instructions and not the LDRT/STRT variants in order to allow kernel addresses (after set_fs(KERNEL_DS)).
