2014-04-02Merge branch 'x86-x32-for-linus' of ↵Linus Torvalds
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull compat time conversion changes from Peter Anvin: "Despite the branch name this is really neither an x86 nor an x32-specific patchset, although it the implementation of the discussions that followed the x32 security hole a few months ago. This removes get/put_compat_timespec/val() and replaces them with compat_get/put_timespec/val() which are savvy as to the current status of COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME. It removes several unused and/or incorrect/misleading functions (like compat_put_timeval_convert which doesn't in fact do any conversion) and also replaces several open-coded implementations what is now called compat_convert_timespec() with that function" * 'x86-x32-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: compat: Fix sparse address space warnings compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)
2014-03-20compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.hHeiko Carstens
linux/compat.h does not include linux/unistd.h but the compat.h header file contains various conditional #ifdef __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_... asmlinkage long compat...() #endif compat system call function declarations. If linux/unistd.h isn't included it depends on previous includes if those __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_... defines are defined or not. So add an additional linux/unistd.h include.

2014-03-06fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter typesHeiko Carstens
Some fs compat system calls have unsigned long parameters instead of compat_ulong_t. In order to allow the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE macro generate code that performs proper zero and sign extension convert all 64 bit parameters their corresponding 32 bit counterparts. compat_sys_io_getevents() is a bit different: the non-compat version has signed parameters for the "min_nr" and "nr" parameters while the compat version has unsigned parameters. So change this as well. For all practical purposes this shouldn't make any difference (doesn't fix a real bug). Also introduce a generic compat_aio_context_t type which can be used everywhere. The access_ok() check within compat_sys_io_getevents() got also removed since the non-compat sys_io_getevents() should be able to handle everything anyway.

2014-03-06fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system callsHeiko Carstens
The preadv64/pwrite64 have been implemented for the x32 ABI, in order to allow passing 64 bit arguments from user space without splitting them into two 32 bit parameters, like it would be necessary for usual compat tasks. Howevert these two system calls are only being used for the x32 ABI, so add __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT defines for these two compat syscalls and make these two only visible for x86.

2014-03-06ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_tHeiko Carstens
Change the type of compat_sys_msgrcv's msgtyp parameter from long to compat_long_t, since compat user space passes only a 32 bit signed value. Let the compat wrapper do proper sign extension to 64 bit of this parameter. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

2014-03-04compat: let architectures define __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_GETDENTS64Heiko Carstens
For architecture dependent compat syscalls in common code an architecture must define something like __ARCH_WANT_<WHATEVER> if it wants to use the code. This however is not true for compat_sys_getdents64 for which architectures must define __ARCH_OMIT_COMPAT_SYS_GETDENTS64 if they do not want the code. This leads to the situation where all architectures, except mips, get the compat code but only x86_64, arm64 and the generic syscall architectures actually use it. So invert the logic, so that architectures actively must do something to get the compat code. This way a couple of architectures get rid of otherwise dead code.

2014-02-02compat: Get rid of (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec)H. Peter Anvin
We have two APIs for compatiblity timespec/val, with confusingly similar names. compat_(get|put)_time(val|spec) *do* handle the case where COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is set, whereas (get|put)_compat_time(val|spec) do not. This is an accident waiting to happen. Clean it up by favoring the full-service version; the limited version is replaced with double-underscore versions static to kernel/compat.c. A common pattern is to convert a struct timespec to kernel format in an allocation on the user stack. Unfortunately it is open-coded in several places. Since this allocation isn't actually needed if COMPAT_USE_64BIT_TIME is true (since user format == kernel format) encapsulate that whole pattern into the function compat_convert_timespec(). An equivalent function should be written for struct timeval if it is needed in the future. Finally, get rid of compat_(get|put)_timeval_convert(): each was only used once, and the latter was not even doing what the function said (no conversion actually was being done.) Moving the conversion into compat_sys_settimeofday() itself makes the code much more similar to sys_settimeofday() itself. v3: Remove unused compat_convert_timeval(). v2: Drop bogus "const" in the destination argument for compat_convert_time*().

2014-01-29fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscallsHeiko Carstens
We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in compat mode on s390. It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t. This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all parameters.

2013-09-01Introduce [compat_]save_altstack_ex() to unbreak x86 SMAPAl Viro
For performance reasons, when SMAP is in use, SMAP is left open for an entire put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch(); block, however, calling __put_user() in the middle of that block will close SMAP as the STAC..CLAC constructs intentionally do not nest. Furthermore, using __put_user() rather than put_user_ex() here is bad for performance. Thus, introduce new [compat_]save_altstack_ex() helpers that replace __[compat_]save_altstack() for x86, being currently the only architecture which supports put_user_try { ... } put_user_catch().

2013-03-19Fix breakage in MIPS siginfo handlingDavid Howells
MIPS's siginfo handling has been broken since this commit: commit 574c4866e33d648520a8bd5bf6f573ea6e554e88 Author: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Sun Nov 25 22:24:19 2012 -0500 consolidate kernel-side struct sigaction declarations for 64-bit BE MIPS CPUs. The UAPI variant looks like this: struct sigaction { unsigned int sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; sigset_t sa_mask; }; but the core kernel's variant looks like this: struct sigaction { #ifndef __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION __sighandler_t sa_handler; unsigned long sa_flags; #else unsigned long sa_flags; __sighandler_t sa_handler; #endif #ifdef __ARCH_HAS_SA_RESTORER __sigrestore_t sa_restorer; #endif sigset_t sa_mask; }; The problem is that sa_flags has been changed from an unsigned int to an unsigned long. Fix this by making sa_flags unsigned int if __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION is defined. Whilst we're at it, rename __ARCH_HAS_ODD_SIGACTION to __ARCH_HAS_IRIX_SIGACTION.
