arm64: 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.

arm64: LLVMLinux: Calculate current_thread_info from current_stack_pointer

2014-09-08T13:39:19+00:00

Use the global current_stack_pointer to get the value of the stack pointer. This change supports being able to compile the kernel with both gcc and clang.

arm64: enable context tracking

2014-07-10T09:10:21+00:00

Make calls to ct_user_enter when the kernel is exited and ct_user_exit when the kernel is entered (in el0_da, el0_ia, el0_svc, el0_irq and all of the "error" paths). These macros expand to function calls which will only work properly if el0_sync and related code has been rearranged (in a previous patch of this series). The calls to ct_user_exit are made after hw debugging has been enabled (enable_dbg_and_irq). The call to ct_user_enter is made at the beginning of the kernel_exit macro. This patch is based on earlier work by Kevin Hilman. Save/restore optimizations were also done by Kevin.

arm64: defer reloading a task's FPSIMD state to userland resume

2014-05-08T09:31:57+00:00

If a task gets scheduled out and back in again and nothing has touched its FPSIMD state in the mean time, there is really no reason to reload it from memory. Similarly, repeated calls to kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() will preserve and restore the FPSIMD state every time. This patch defers the FPSIMD state restore to the last possible moment, i.e., right before the task returns to userland. If a task does not return to userland at all (for any reason), the existing FPSIMD state is preserved and may be reused by the owning task if it gets scheduled in again on the same CPU. This patch adds two more functions to abstract away from straight FPSIMD register file saves and restores: - fpsimd_restore_current_state -> ensure current's FPSIMD state is loaded - fpsimd_flush_task_state -> invalidate live copies of a task's FPSIMD state Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel
