avr32: wire up copy_file_range syscall

2016-03-14T10:08:29+00:00

This patch wires up the new copy_file_range syscall on AVR32. On AVR32, all parameters beyond the 5th are passed on the stack. System calls don't use the stack -- they borrow a callee-saved register instead. This means that syscalls that take 6 parameters must be called through a stub that pushes the last parameter on the stack. Signed-off-by: Hans-Christian Noren Egtvedt

arch: Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM flag for System RAM

2016-01-30T08:49:57+00:00

Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM in flags of resource ranges with "System RAM", "Kernel code", "Kernel data", and "Kernel bss". Note that: - IORESOURCE_SYSRAM (i.e. modifier bit) is set in flags when IORESOURCE_MEM is already set. IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined as (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_SYSRAM). - Some archs do not set 'flags' for children nodes, such as "Kernel code". This patch does not change 'flags' in this case.

module: use a structure to encapsulate layout.

2015-12-04T21:46:25+00:00

Makes it easier to handle init vs core cleanly, though the change is fairly invasive across random architectures. It simplifies the rbtree code immediately, however, while keeping the core data together in the same cachline (now iff the rbtree code is enabled).

AVR32/time: Migrate to new 'set-state' interface

2015-07-20T10:19:10+00:00

Migrate avr32 driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided by clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete now. This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED. We want to call cpu_idle_poll_ctrl() in shutdown only if we were in oneshot or resume state earlier. Create another variable to save this information and check that in shutdown callback.

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.
