arm: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

2015-04-12T18:58:24+00:00

As execution domain support is gone we can remove signal translation from the signal code and remove exec_domain from thread_info. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

ARM: 7880/1: Clear the IT state independent of the Thumb-2 mode

2013-11-07T00:19:06+00:00

The ARM architecture reference specifies that the IT state bits in the PSR must be all zeros in ARM mode or behavior is unspecified. On the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4/Krait architecture CPUs the processor continues to consider the IT state bits while in ARM mode. This makes it so that some instructions are skipped by the CPU.

ARM: signal: sigreturn_codes should be endian neutral to work in BE8

2013-10-19T19:46:36+00:00

In case of BE8 kernel data is in BE order whereas code stays in LE order. Move sigreturn_codes to separate .S file and use proper assembler mnemonics for these code snippets. In this case compiler will take care of proper instructions byteswaps for BE8 case. Change assumes that sufficiently Thumb-capable tools are used to build kernel. Problem was discovered during ltp testing of BE system: all rt_sig* tests failed. Tested against the same tests in both BE and LE modes.

ARM: fix nommu builds with 48be69a02 (ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page)

2013-08-03T09:49:01+00:00

Olof reports that noMMU builds error out with: arch/arm/kernel/signal.c: In function 'setup_return': arch/arm/kernel/signal.c:413:25: error: 'mm_context_t' has no member named 'sigpage' This shows one of the evilnesses of IS_ENABLED(). Get rid of it here and replace it with #ifdef's - and as no noMMU platform can make use of sigpage, depend on CONIFG_MMU not CONFIG_ARM_MPU. Reported-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: Russell King

ARM: fix a cockup in 48be69a02 (ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page)

2013-08-03T09:30:05+00:00

Unfortunately, I never committed the fix to a nasty oops which can occur as a result of that commit: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /home/olof/work/batch/include/linux/mm.h:414! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ARM Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 490 Comm: killall5 Not tainted 3.11.0-rc3-00288-gabe0308 #53 task: e90acac0 ti: e9be8000 task.ti: e9be8000 PC is at special_mapping_fault+0xa4/0xc4 LR is at __do_fault+0x68/0x48c This doesn't show up unless you do quite a bit of testing; a simple boot test does not do this, so all my nightly tests were passing fine. The reason for this is that install_special_mapping() expects the page array to stick around, and as this was only inserting one page which was stored on the kernel stack, that's why this was blowing up.

ARM: move signal handlers into a vdso-like page

2013-08-01T13:31:56+00:00

Move the signal handlers into a VDSO page rather than keeping them in the vectors page. This allows us to place them randomly within this page, and also map the page at a random location within userspace further protecting these code fragments from ROP attacks. The new VDSO page is also poisoned in the same way as the vector page. Signed-off-by: Russell King
