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.

parisc: Wire up seccomp, getrandom and memfd_create syscalls

With secure computing we only support the SECCOMP_MODE_STRICT mode for now. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: add flexible mmap memory layout support

2014-02-02T20:00:13+00:00

Add support for the flexible mmap memory layout (as described in http://lwn.net/Articles/91829). This is especially very interesting on parisc since we currently only support 32bit userspace (even with a 64bit Linux kernel). Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

parisc: add kernel stack overflow check

2013-05-07T19:34:07+00:00

Add the CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW config option to enable checks to detect kernel stack overflows. Stack overflows can not be detected reliable since we do not want to introduce too much overhead. Instead, during irq processing in do_cpu_irq_mask() we check kernel stack usage of the interrupted kernel process. Kernel threads can be easily detected by checking the value of space register 7 (sr7) which is zero when running inside the kernel. Since THREAD_SIZE is 16k and PAGE_SIZE is 4k, reduce the alignment of the init thread to the lower value (PAGE_SIZE) in the kernel vmlinux.ld.S linker script. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller

sanitize tsk_is_polling()

2012-10-01T13:58:13+00:00

Make default just return 0. The current default (checking TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG) is taken to architectures that need it; ones that don't do polling in their idle threads don't need to defined TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG at all. ia64 defined both TS_POLLING (used by its tsk_is_polling()) and TIF_POLLING_NRFLAG (not used at all). Killed the latter... Signed-off-by: Al Viro
