arm64: Removed unused variable

2015-04-13T18:40:10+00:00

arch/arm64/kernel/signal.c: In function ‘handle_signal’: arch/arm64/kernel/signal.c:290:22: warning: unused variable ‘thread’ [-Wunused-variable] Fixes: arm64: Remove signal translation and exec_domain Reported-by: Thierry Reding Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

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: Use sigsp()

Use sigsp() instead of the open coded variant. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

arm64: Use get_signal() signal_setup_done()

2014-08-06T10:56:16+00:00

Use the more generic functions get_signal() signal_setup_done() for signal delivery. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

arm64: is_compat_task is defined both in asm/compat.h and linux/compat.h

2014-05-12T15:43:29+00:00

Some kernel files may include both linux/compat.h and asm/compat.h directly or indirectly. Since both header files contain is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT, compiling them with !CONFIG_COMPAT will eventually fail. Such files include kernel/auditsc.c, kernel/seccomp.c and init/do_mountfs.c (do_mountfs.c may read asm/compat.h via asm/ftrace.h once ftrace is implemented). So this patch proactively 1) removes is_compat_task() under !CONFIG_COMPAT from asm/compat.h 2) replaces asm/compat.h to linux/compat.h in kernel/*.c, but asm/compat.h is still necessary in ptrace.c and process.c because they use is_compat_thread().

arm64: Expose ESR_EL1 information to user when SIGSEGV/SIGBUS

2014-05-09T14:47:49+00:00

This information is useful for instruction emulators to detect read/write and access size without having to decode the faulting instruction. The current patch exports it via sigcontext (struct esr_context) and is only valid for SIGSEGV and SIGBUS. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

arm64: Remove the aux_context structure

2014-05-09T14:47:48+00:00

This patch removes the aux_context structure (and the containing file) to allow the placement of the _aarch64_ctx end magic based on the context stored on the signal stack. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas

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
